Da Bizzle is da shizzle!

The 'Pow' man aka Lethal Da Bizzle, was our special guest this week on Blueprint (3rd Aug). August 15th sees the release of the former More Fire Crew member's solo album entitled 'Against All Oddz', titled so due to the fact that Lethal felt the world was against him after the demise of the More Fire Crew project and LP, which sank without trace.

We chatted and played tracks off the album for a full sixty minutes, touching on many subjects and also putting questions from the 1X massive to our special guest. Big up to Lethal who was game, willing to answer any question that came his way, no matter how controversial the subject matter.

His next single off the album will be 'Shame', which Lethal informed us had only been given sample clearance just two hours before coming on the show, from Motown musical legend himself Stevie Wonder. Shortly after coming off air, Lethal's face was beaming with delight, not only had he been given the seal of approval from Stevie, but his hard work within the UK music scene was being noticed as he was given the good news that he was up for two awards at this years MOBO's, being nominated in 'Best Single' and 'Best Newcomer' categories. Wow, what a day! Make sure you support this UKG survivor and pick up 'Against All Oddz', in stores August 15th.
